180 days with my crush

 We parted, gasping for air. Aderemi's eyes seared into mine, blazing with unbridled passion. His gaze was a reflection of the wild desire raging within me. His lips, slightly swollen from our kiss, seemed to beckon me back. My heart pounded furiously, and I knew in that instant that I was irretrievably lost, swept away by a tidal wave of emotion that threatened to consume me. 


A sense of anticipation settled over me as if something inevitable was looming on the horizon. The bed in the center of the room was plastered in my subconscious mind. A shiver ran down my spine as I confronted the unsettling truth: I wanted to be on that bed, with him. I wanted him to be my first. The thought of him being my first, of him being the one to awaken me to the secrets of intimacy, was both thrilling and terrifying. It was a wild, unbridled notion, one that I was surprisingly unafraid to acknowledge.
